Relegation Possibility

[eastie]

We're not hated, but we are fast becoming the most pitied team in the league.

Hated  is a bit strong but i imagine when neutrals turn on the tv they quickly change channel if they see villa are playing- we are awful to watch !

either that or carrying on watching a laugh at our performances and know there will be goals scored......against us!

Keep getting texts from Baggies taking the piss. What can I say? It's absoutely shameful what's going on at this club at the moment.

No it isn't.

What is shameful is how our pathetic Chairman has caused this situation with his useless Managerial appointments and selling off the best players season on season. Lerner has no leadership at all and that permeates through the club from top to bottom. We'd be better of with Doug in charge - there's no way he would have appointed AM! We'll soon be worse off that DOL's last season in charge especially if it ends in relegation.

Shameful is what Liverpool are right now due to the actions of their manager and striker.

What Villa are is not a very good team at the moment.  We've been worse in the past and probably will be worse again in the future, but there's nothing 'shameful' about that.

If we don't take at least 10 points from our next 4 games, then it may become a possibility.

Got to say I haven't had a neutral fan say anything other than derogatory comments about us for months. We are bad to watch atm. I struggle to watch us let alone the rest of the country.
I'm not ashamed....just a little embarrassed.

I just did the predictor thing on the BBC. West Brom away is a very important game.

Many people on here in the past have said they hate stoke for the way they play so can see his point. Difference is they were good at being negative where we are just shit.

i hate the way Stoke play, but i wouldnt call it negative, the whole system involves getting the ball forward into the box as fast and quick as posible, where big blokes can cause trouble and try and create a goal,
 its not pretty but its positive in my view

Did you see them at VP last year? A good 20 mins worth of timewasting, playing for throw ins taking ages to take them, ridiculous and it ruined the entire game. Definitely negative

We are too good to go down.

We are too good to go down.

Probably, but the penalties for administration can be harsh.

I'm with Maz on the relegation point. It would hit us hard financially, but its not my money. #

I would genuinely rather watch us win every week in the Championship than see us playing for draws, at home, against teams made up of our former players. I've never bought into this idea that the Premier League is the land of milk and honey. Football is still just a sport to me. A form of entertainment. Its not a business. I just want to see good football and a winning team. It makes no odds what division we are in - because we arent going to win the title anyway.

they dont go out to defend a nil nil though, i'm not defending them i cant stand them, but there is a big difference in our negative tactics and the way Stoke play the game,
 the Stoke way is called 'long ball' or 'Direct' straight away its a system which depends on the ball going forward a lot, unlike anything played by Blues last season which depended on getting as many players behind the ball and stifling the life out of the game.

10 more points would be virtual security, we dont need to get them in the next 4 games

There its no other place for a club to be than in the top flight. Premier league wankery aside, if you're not in the top flight them you're even more of an irrelevance than we currently are. To be relegated would be a huge embarrassment beyond any pitiful surrender to the top clubs.

Is a good job we're not going down. There are no cogent arguments to be made as to just how the bottom clubs are going to get more points than us.

That said, the situation we're in is entirely unacceptable. We've simply existed for two seasons now. The club needs to be purged clean.
